TRIPLETT & SCOTT REPEATING CARBINE. SN 1483. Cal. 50 RF. Rare Civil War era repeating carbine with 30” rnd bbl, pinched blade front sight & small carbine ladder rear sight. Left side of breech block is marked “KENTUCKY”. It has usual company markings on receiver & top tang. Magazine tube is located on left lower side of receiver and extends down into buttstock. Loading & ejecting is effected by depressing the lock lever on left side of hammer and rotating bbl & breech block to the right about 200 degrees, which activates extractor and continued rotation to the stop moves the spring-loaded magazine tube cover aside along a cartridge to be automatically loaded into chamber. In addition this unusual carbine has two sling swivels at heel & toe of stock. Mounted with nicely figured, uncheckered American walnut with tiny rnd forearm & straight stock with carbine buttplate. About 3,000 of these carbines with this bbl length were purchased by the State of Kentucky to arm the Kentucky Home Guard to protect supply lines for Sherman during his Atlanta campaign. They arrived too late to see Civil War service. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl & breechblock retain 93-95% strong orig blue and receiver most of its orig case hardening turned silver with strong case colors on left side with faded colors elsewhere. Stock has repaired cracks over the thin part of magazine area and overall retains a fine professionally restored finish. Mechanics are fine, bright shiny bore with scattered pitting. 4-32814 JR452 (2,500-4,000)
